If there are rapids on the Columbia, they're well
east of central Oregon (and well east of the
Cascades.)

By the time it gets halfway across OR, the
Columbia is one mighty river.  It's where I first
sailed my Hobie Cat -- and it nearly did me in.

One of its tributaries is the Snake River which
begins in the Tetons.  But mostly it flows down
from British Columbia.
